I'm feeling very animated by the Jimmy Kimmel situation. Not because I care about mediocre millionaire comedians but because this is a clear case of government censorship. Also, I recognize a good rallying point when I see one.

I will not soon forget the uninhibited dancing of the punk rockers going to see the Pogues (instead of Blink-182) at Riot Fest.

At my sister's place, wearing my Skies of Fortune shirt. My nephew looks at me and says, "Uncle Jess wear pirate shirt!" 🏴‍☠️

Here's my Jeff Foxworthy joke, just in case you remember that guy. If you say that anti-fascists are your enemies, then you just might be, say it with me, A FASCIST!

Hey MAGA, do you think so-called free speech champion Charlie Kirk would want Jimmy Kimmel censored over a joke?

FUCK THE FASH TRANS RIGHTS FOREVER 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

It's fiiine to base your games on real world mythologies! 🥰 It's also fine to abandon real world mythology completely and base your games around your own weird obsession with eating celestial bodies and turning into a giant horny star snake... right?🤔🤞 pennyblake.itch.io/bamu

I'm driving to Chicago later this afternoon. What audiobooks should I download?

Don't give a fuck about rich comedians. Give a lot of fucks about the govt using the FCC to silence an opponent. Nexstar is spineless too. 2 takeaways 1) Neither the government nor the private sector are your friends. 2) Fascists hate being made fun of. It reduces their power in the public eye.

OKAY LISTEN We have like five hours left until I stop bugging you about it. That also means you guys have five hours left to decide the budget of this game. All I'm saying is I have plans. If I have the £, I'm gonna spend the £. You know what to do. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lau...

New update! Expanded the color section to talk about Value, and brought in examples from Doug Henderson, Granblue Fantasy, and Tales from the Loop. Should give another avenue for art directors to bring cohesion to their games, and another term they ought to know when working with artists.

"political violence begets political violence". Maybe. But that sidesteps the question of how that violence began in the first place. Look to a failing economy, increased atomization and rapidly eroding civil liberties for your answer.
